Steady now
Wait
Don't give up
Wait
...

...

I'm stuck in a world of doubt
I have no one to help me get out
As time passes I fall further
It's getting harder to see
...

...

I'm not right
I'm always wrong
I push myself
Until I'm too far gone
...

I wanted to stay
I wanted to be there but forever to you is a short story
I was written out of your life
We were nothing
...

Everything is never perfect
Nothing ever will be
But when you lye next to me
my life is so care free
...

Our intimacy flourished like the flowers of spring
The desire to selfishly hold your love burned within my body
Your arms held me with strength
I felt alive in the safety of your eyes
...

Guilt, picking at the seams of my heart
Guilt, dismembering my body part by part
Guilt, coursing through my veins
Guilt, destroying those who love me the most
...

...

My heart is chained with a lock
There is no key to be found
No one will ever unlock the truth of my life
Nobody will ever search deep enough to prove their commitment to me
...

...

There once was a girl who wallowed in self- pity
She loved so deep that it turned her giddy
Laughter and joy filled the air
But her love had stolen her strength and left her bare
...

I pressed the number 2 button on the elevator,
My heart pumped and my stomach fluttered
As the reflective elevator door opened,
I walked towards a heavy brown door
...

The beaver builds a wall to cease the water
Instinct is the life of a conformist
Like a dam being released, the water begins to flow
The water flows faster and faster until it comes to a halt
...

He played me like a wild card
You threw me back into the deck
Played me again
Handed me around the table
...

You expect me to get on my knees and I do
You expect me to adore you and I do
I'll give you what you want
I always do
...

I'll remember you
I'll think of you everyday until I see you again
I'll never forget your eyes
The way they stared into mine
...

You were my revenge
My coal to fuel the fire
Time passed and you stood still
Your summer lust grew into love
...

You were too old and I was too young
I was forbidden but I thought you were the one
The one that would be there for me when I was in need
The one to be my support in a time of crisis
...
